New England Patriots fans and fantasy owners of Rob Gronkowski can now rejoice. One of the best tight ends in the NFL has declared himself ready for Week 1 when his team travels to take on the Miami Dolphins.

Gronkowski spoke about being ready for the matchup, per Shalise Manza Young of The Boston Globe:

Last season, Gronkowski played in just seven contests, compiling 39 receptions for 592 yards and four touchdowns, before a torn ACL and MCL ended his campaign in early December.

While the news about Gronk's readiness is undoubtedly positive for the Patriots and fantasy owners, he might not play every snap against the Dolphins. Doug Kyed of NESN shared another comment from the stud tight end:

Gronk says he doesn't expect to play every snap. "Getting my feet wet."

Though that potential snap-count limitation might worry fantasy owners, there should be little hesitation to plug Gronk into your lineups. Josh Moore of 4for4.com notes he will likely be in for crucial plays:

I wouldn’t worry about Gronk’s snap count. The snaps he plays will be the ones you want him playing on. #fantasyfootball

Gronkowski will certainly be a huge weapon for the Patriots against Miami. With a young receiving corps around him, he is the clear No. 1 target for quarterback Tom Brady when he's on the field.

Though he has battled a variety of injuries in recent seasons, Gronk has frequently proven why he's considered one of the NFL's best tight ends. Even if he's not healthy enough to play every snap against the Dolphins, a monster performance could be in the cards this coming weekend.
